Episode 022 – Curtis McMillan on Traditional Whiskey Aging

For this week, we wanted to revisit a topic that we touched on in episode 14 with Tom Lix. We reached out to whiskey expert Curtis McMillan to chat with us about some traditional whiskey aging topics. Just a heads up, this is only the first part of the conversation. The rest of the interview will be coming up in the near future.

Just some quick background on Curtis:

Curtis is an expert in the craft of Whiskey in all of its form. He’s been featured many times on Common Man Cocktails on YouTube and has a long list of industry accreditations ranging from tequila, to gin, to beer. While attempting to obtain funding for his own distillery, he ran a batch at a friends distillery, and the resulting whiskey scored an 86 on Whiskey Advocate, which is the highest rating ever for a micro distilled whiskey. He currently works for Anheuser-Busch as a high end brand ambassador.
